One in three students fail NAPLAN standards

The 2024 NAPLAN results reveal approximately 400,000 Australian students, or one in three, failed to meet proficiency standards, with particular concerns in Year 3 numeracy and remote student performance. Encouraging improvements were noted in overall numeracy scores for Years 5, 7 and 9, and Indigenous students showed gains in upper year levels, particularly in exceeding proficiency benchmarks. Over three-quarters of remote students failed to meet standards in reading and mathematics, highlighting ongoing challenges in disadvantaged communities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
